Mombasa’s first social justice centre was launched on Wednesday, giving hope to victims of human rights abuses seeking retribution. Director of Public Prosecutions Noording Haji launched the Changamwe Social Justice Centre in Mbuyuni slums and promised to reexamine cases involving residents. Haji said his office will support the center and give voice to victims of extrajudicial killings and police torture. Changamwe Social Justice director Seif Suleiman said it will be run by a committee selected by the community. Most have zero knowledge about their rights, Suleiman said.
